CI & Test Matrix
01 · Engineering problem
The failure mode
Run-End Encoded (REE) arrays lacked min/max aggregate kernel support and PiecewiseMergeJoin handling in DataFusion physical execution.
02 · Technical response
What changed
- 01Implemented REE-aware min/max aggregation handling and PiecewiseMergeJoin compatibility.
- 02Added physical execution tests covering RunArray inputs across joins and aggregates.
03 · Verified outcome
Evidence-backed result
- ✓Passed 100% of Apache DataFusion CI checks with zero failures on commit fd5fb51ec002e632c9cf94f775df91357b067753.
